The cry of ‘‘ Re form the Lords," is now universal throughout the country. It roars like a hurricane in Ireland, and Scotland and England take up and multiply the sound. Will their Lordships be wise in time ? Alas ! it is too late. The fiat has already gone forth, that their kingdom shall depart from them. The Bill for introducing some reforms into the Scottish Universities was last night committed pro forma in the House of Lords. This measuto Ivus occasioned considerable agitation in Scotland ; but it would appear from Lord -ABERDEEN'S statement that it has been entirely ily:sunderstood. The only persons, we believe, who are opposed to it are the Scottish Clergy, and some of the Professors in the institutions to be reformed. The Clergy have taken up an idea that the Bill puts an end to the conformity which has hi therto existed between the Universities and the Church —that suhscription to the confession of faith is to be dispensed with—and that education is henceforth to be disconnected from religion. Lord ABERDEEN, who was one of the Commissioners of Inquiry into the state of the Universities, on whose Report the Bill is founded, showed the groundlessness of such apprehen sions, and proposed a clause which must satisfy the minds of the most scrupulous. On the merits of the Bill we shall take another opportunity of saying a few words. The Registration of Births and Marriage Bills passed the House of Commons last night after several divi sions, in which large majorities decided in favour of the Ministerial measures. In the discussion which took place on the Registration of Births, Mr. GOULBURN re-introduced some of the twaddle which fell from hint in a former stage of the Bill, about the impiety of se vering the rite of baptism from the naming of a child. " The members of the Church," said this sapient sena tor, "though they always call the child from its birth by the name it / is to bear through life, have so decided a conviction of the necessity of not separating baptism from nomination, that if the name shall be regis tered before baptism, there is great danger that the baptism will be omitted altogether." This is really a summary of the Right Honourable Gentleman's argument, and it is difficult to say whether it is more to be admired for the profundity of its logic, or for the beautiful compliment which it pays to the piety of that Church of which he is himself a member, and, as we have been told, a distinguished ornament. Only look—remarked the Representative of one of the institutions consecrated to learning —only look at the awful responsibility which such a measure involves ! Those who are not baptised cannot be confirmed, and may be denied Christian burial. Think of that, ye Baptists I —you who have never experienced the con scientious nurture of godfathers and godmothers so lemnly vowed at the altar I You who are never bap tised till you reach the age of confirmation, and can form some notion of what baptism means. During the debate on the Marriage Bill, an attempt was made by the sam e Hon. Member to introduce a snug little test clai:ise, under the name of a declaration, to the fallowing- effect :—" I do solemnly declare that I have conscientious scruples against the solemniza tion of Marriage according to the rites and ceremonies of the Church of England." The attempt not only proved abortive, but happily led to a substantial im provement of the Bill ; for when the advocates of this declaration defended it on the ground that it was in har mony with an amendment which Lord JOHN RUSSELL had already agreed to at their suggestion, the Noble Lord put an end to their cavilling in a very summary and sensible way, by moving the omission of the said amendment. We congratulate the Dissenters and the country at large on the passing of these Bills- They will to a certainty be thrown out by the House of Lords, but the House of Commons and his Ma jesty's Ministers have done their duty, and deserve the gratitude of the community as much as the Lords deserve its hatred. THE SUN.

But nei thcr as a Sovereign nor as a Men does he lead a charmed regal or physical existence. bout con cessions—large concessions to the people of France-- the KING is as little secure against the emcutc of a mob, as LOUIS-PHILIPPE can be from the attack of a murderer. In vain does the King of the FRENCH flatter himself, that he will succeed in effecting by stratagem what CHARLES X. lost a Crown for attempting by force. He is closely watched, and every movement of his, which represses in any way the liberty of the people, only confirms those in a determi nation to dethrone him, who believed from the first that he could never become the defado SOVEREIGN of a Free People. A late celebrated writer on the very revo lution which placed LOUIS PH ILIPI'E on the thron e of France, asserted the impossibility of the BOURBONS ever becoming friendly to the liberty of mankind. " If a herd of overloaded asses," says HAZLITT in an essay written on his death-bed, " were to turn against their drivers, and demand their liberty and better usage, these could not be more astonished than the Bourt- BONS were when the French people turned against them, and demanded their rights. Will these same BOURBONS who have been rocked and cradled in the notion of arbitrary power, and of their own exclusive privileges as a separate and sacred race—who have sucked it in with their mother's milk—who inherit it in their blood--wh o have nursed it in exile and in so litude, and gloated over it once more since their return, as within their reach, ever be brought to look liberty in the face, except as a mortal and implacable foe ? Will they ever give up the hope of removing that obstacle to all that they have been, or still have a fancied right to be ? The last thing they can be convinced of will be to make them comprehend that they are men. ** *. Be sure of this—popular right coiled round the sceptre of hereditary Kings is like the viper clinging to our hands, which we shake off with fear and loathing. There is in despots (born and bred) a natural and irreconcileable antipathy to the people, and to all obligations to them. The very name of freedom is a screech-owl in their ears. They will either be absolute or they will be nothing. The BOURBONS for centuries had been regarded as the Gods of the earth—as a superior race of beings, who had a sovereign right to trample on mankind, and crush them in their wrath, or spare them in their mercy. Would CHARLES X. derogate from his an cestors— would he be the degenerate scion of that royal line to wear a tarnished and dishonoured crown—to be raised by the shout of a mob—to wait the assent of a Chamber of Deputies —to owe everything to the peo ple—to be a King on liking, and on sufferance, a sort of state-prisoner in his own kingdom, shut up and spell-bound in the nickname of a Constitution ? He would as soon consent to• go on all-fours. The latter would not shock his pride and prejudices more—would not be a greater degradation in his eyes, or a more total inversion of the order of nature. It is not that the successor to a despotic throne will not, but he cannot be the King of a free people." All that HAZLITT here says of CHARLES X. iS equally applicable to LOUIS PHILIPPE, for at the present moment the latter looks upon himself quite as much in the character of an hereditary Monarch as did his unfortunate predecessor on the eve of the revolution, which for ever hurled him from the pinnacle of earthly glory. The reigning Sovereign of the FRENCH may outwardly identify himself with the celebration of the " three glorious days" as much as he pleases ; but at heart he only remembers, feels, and exults in the fact, that he is a stalk from the same stem—a branch from the Royal tree—which ought rightfully to overshadow the soil of France. It is this conviction ever present to his mind, that led him to confirm, in his regal career, the truth of his propositions laid down by the writer, whom we have quoted above. And yet it is surprising to us that a man of Louis PHILIPPE'S great sagacity, seeing that his attachment to liberty was doubted openly by many, and sincerely believed by none—that men, regarded as political prophets in Europe, had publicly predicted that he would ulti match' subvert the liberties of Frenchmen—and that thousands of his subjects were standing aloof from his Government, with the determination of defending with their lives the rights which they had achieved—it is, we repeat, surprising that he did not proceed more warily in his march towards the re-establishment of despotism. In another column will be found the addresses of the Chambers of Peers and Deputies to the KING, con gratulating his MAJESTY on his miraculous escape, and assuring him of their loyal and devoted attachment to his person, family, and government. All this is very well —very proper and becoming ; but still the KING'S life is not a whit more secure than if Baron PA SQUIER and M. DUPIN were as mute as statues. From the danger which threatens the KING no zeal or activity on the part of his guards—no devotion on the part of the national representatives —no precaution on his own part, or that of his family, can possibly se cure him. There are but two ways by which he can hope to desCend to the " Tomb of the Capulets" ill peace— viz., by adopting a more liberal policy, which of course will be preceded by a general political amnesty ; or by immuring himself in his Palace, with no more liberty than is allowed to the State prisoners of Ham. The attachment of the Peers and Deputies of France—th e chivalrous loyalty of the National Guards—the joy ous acclamations of the Parisians—would be invalu able in the event of an insurrection directed against the reigning dynasty ; but of what use are they when the evil to be guarded against is the pistol or the dagger of the solitary muffled assassin ? The Chamber of Peers unwittingly encourages these atrocious attempts to murder the KING, by the parade it makes in examining and trying the criminals. The ridiculous attention paid to the wretch FIESCIII ; the monstrous absurdity of publishing all his vain and vicious gasconade ; the extreme folly of allowing such a monster private conferences with Ministers of State ; and the exhibitions of pitiful egotism permitted at his trial, were all calculated to multiply regicides in a country where the most enormous crimes are commit ted to satisfy a craving for notoriety. Were such monsters dragged forth, tried by a common jury, and executed in twenty-four hours after the attempt to per petrate such a wickedness, we would hear less of French regicides. PARIS, JUNE 96.—N0 summons has been issued for an im mediate sitting of the Chamber of Deputies, nor do we hear of any project of law to be considered. The Peers, on leaving the proceeded immediately to the Luxembourg. It is not true, as has been reported, that the shot bred by Alibeaud was turned aside by an agent of the police, or by a sergeant of the National Guard, who pushed him just as he saw him take aim. Alibeaud was able to fire without inter- ruption. It was the King who happened to be looking towards the spot where the assassin stood, and seeing the cane pointed to wards him, made the motion which saved him. From the place where the ball struck and where it was found, it is cal culated that it passed within five or six inches of the King's head. Neither did Alibaud rest his cane on the door of the carriage ; the extremity of the cane-nun was two feet from the carriage when it Was Oda. He rested the cane on the shoulder of A pesoll whet was between him and the carriage. The person who was the nearest to Alibeaud, and 1.: s the first to seize hii% Was M.

COR DOVA, it appears, sent 7,500 men, under the respective commands of General ROTTEN and Colonel NA R VAEZ, to put down the insurrectionary movement in Saragossa ; but the Governor closed the gates, and the National Guards prepared to defend the town with their lives. To add to the perplexity of the Govern ment, the regular troops refused to fire on the citi zens—a refusal for which they received the thanks of General SAN MIGUEL, Captain-General of Lower Arragon. A courier with the news of this affair was dispatched to Madrid, and returned with letters to the Governor of Saragossa from IST URIZ, in which the Pre sident of the Council thanked the Municipality for what it had done, and assured the several authorities that the order for the march of the troops upon that city was issued by mistake ! Thus the blame of the whole transaction is laid at the door of CORDOVA. The private letters received from Bayonne arc to the 24th inst. They merely mention that General EVANS is determined to quit Spain unless more at tention is paid to his remonstrances. The Dutch Papers contain no political news of any importance.

The action Bunn v. illacready, for the assault by the de fendant was heard before the Under Sheriff, when a verdict was returned for the plaintiff.—Damages, 1501. [The particulars of the evidence we shall give to-morrow.] Earl Grey, accompanied by one of his daughters, was among the pedestrians in Hyde-park on Sunday. Few men, numbering so many years, exhibit less appearance of age than this venerable Statesman. The Earl of Lauderdale seems to have retired en tirely from public life, being now in his seventy-seventh year. He constantly resides at Dunbar-house, East Lothian, and seldom visits Edinburgh. Lord Brudenell, it is said, intends to proceed over land, to join his regiment in the East Indies, by which means his Lordship will avoid the monotony of a sea voyage, and visit a country but seldom explored. The Hon. Mrs. Norton was in the Zoological Gardens on Sunday last, with her sister, Mrs. Blackwood, and a large party of fashionables. Hyde Park, on Sunday, was thronged with pedes trians and gazers ; but the show of handsome equipages, as on every preceding Sunday this season, fell short of what it used to be. THE LORDS.—To those who are opposed to organic changes in the Peerage, it must be gratifying to learn, that the main resistance to a Liberal Administration in the Upper House, is found to be among those Peers who hold their seats there for life or for years; that the majority of English Peers (hereditary legislators) against the Bill, was not more than one.seventh ; and that the majority of those English Peers, whose patent of creation was of a date prior to October, 1760, was not more than one-fourteenth. The accounts of the barley crop are, we regret to learn from all parts, at present very discouraging. The wheats look remarkably well, and promise to be an average crop.— Newcastle Journal. The earliest hay cu t i n th e eastern di str i ct o f Stir lingshire, thi s season , h as b een at D orator, well known —for its luxuriant crops, when upon Wednesday last, about an acre belonging to Thomas Aitken, Esq., was cut down, of excel lent quality b o th f ur s t rengt h and thickness, there being not less than 300 stones from the acre.—Glasgow Courier. A trout, of the extraordinary dimensions of 18 1 1 ,- inches in length, 9} inches over the shoulders, and weighing 211b5., was caught a few days since in the river Wear, about about a quarter o f a m il e a b ove Stanhope .— Newcastle Journal. AN OLD SECT WITH A NEW NAME.—The votaries of the gin palaces, in consequence of the intense warmth of their adoration, are denominated " Fire-worshippers.'. LAUDER.—We regret to have to announce another failure of the potatoe crop in this part of the country. M. Lalande, the celebrated naturalist, died two or three days ago at Calais. A subscription is on foot for erecting a monument to the memory of Marshal Mortier, in his native town of Ca teau, near Cambray. The name of the King stands at the head of the list, and is followed by those of all the Ministers. The Minister of War has granted to the Committee all the bronze necessary for casting the statue, and the Minister of the Interior has advanced the sum necessary for forming the pe destal. The execution of the statue is entrusted to M. Bra. In the Creuse, a few days ago, a foolish girl keep ing cattle in a pasture, tied two children to a cow's tail. The animal, annoyed by the weight, set off at full gallop, and the cries of the children increasing her speed, they were both so mutilated that one is dead, and the other in a hopeless state.— French Paper. The vaccine matter has recently been discovered in the udder of a cow, at La Hautaye, near Amiens; it has suc ceeded very well with a child who has been innoculated by it. In New York the two main causes of insanity are found to be fanaticism and drunkenness ; while in Paris, love, play, and politics are ascertained to be the most inciting ma. terials of this fearful disease. Yesterday the sixth maiden session for the precinct and liberties of the Tower of London, was holden at the Ses sion-house, Well-close-square. Last year Ireland distilled 11,167,580 gallons of proof spirits, which was nearly equal to the distillation of Eng land and Scotland in the same period. Amount of duty pai on last year's consumption, 1,327,809 for Ireland. P ARLIAME N TARY SU HAAN:V.

Upon the first report Cothtnitteo . .bcing laid on the table, Earl Fitzwilliam, in the course ol 6'14/4Vai6o 7 upon the subject, said that some uniform system for the regtitatiqi If ou g ht to be devised: otnetT:ise, it would hereafter be tOtitla that lines of railroad , : bad been carried into effect which would turn out as not thily trct tire best,. but that they would prO7d impediments in the ovaiif furthel improve ments in such ling. The London Grand tiUnciiov way was passed. The Church Discipline Bill fe't - itl second time. The Entails Relief (Fjmtland) all and tin: , Waste Lands Cultivation (Ireland) Bill were severally passed. A discussion ensued on the Universities land) Bill. The Bill was committed pro forma. Tirc Tithes Commutation Bill, brought up from the Commons, was read a first time, and the second reading was fixed for to-morrow se'nnight. In the COMMONS, Mr. Tooke presented a petition, signed by the Mayor and between four and five hundred of the principal inhabitants of Truro, praying the entire abolition of Church-rates. Three petitions from Van Diemen's Land were presented ; one from Mr. Bryan, complaining of op pression on the part of the Executive there ; the other two related to the fine and imprisonment of Mr. Melville, for an alleged libel. Sir G. Grey stated that on inquiry, both the fine and imprisonment had been remitted. A petition was presented from Mayo, praying for the abolition of tithes. Lod J. Russell obtained leave to bring in a Bill to facilitate the abolition or removal of personal tithe. A lively discussion ensued on a petition from an itinerant minstrel, who com plained that while singing in the streets he had been ar rested. The Registration of Births Bill was then passed. On the motion of Lord J. Russell the Marriages Bill was also passed. On this, as well as on the Births Bill, amend ments moved by Mr. Goulburn were negatived by large majorities, as was also Earl Lincoln's motion that the Mar riages Bill be read a third time this day six months. Some despatches of Lord Aylmer from Canada were then or dered, after which the House adjourned. THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.) CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. Our arrivals this morning are a French Mail, and ship let ters from Demerara, and New York, by the Montreal, arrived off Portsmouth, of an old date. By the express from Paris this morning letters have been received from Saragossa, stating that the forces of Quelez and Cabrera, in Lower Arragon, and in the province of Valencia, amounts to nineteen battalions of infantry, well organized, with a numerous cavalry. The terror which Cabrera causes is such that all the commanders of the towns of the second order have left them, and gone to the fortresses of the first rate.

In the Foreign Market, Spanish Active, which opened at 41+ /, went up to 411 at which price they are at present, owing to accounts being received from Paris that the Carlists were deserting in great numbers to the army of Gen.

HOP INTELLIGENCE.—In almost every direction the accounts all agree that the hops are making extraordi nary progress, with little or nothing to check them.—lllaid stone Gazette. According to the Dutch papers, there were on the Ist of January, in Holland—Calvinists, 1,489,505; Roman Catholics, 857,951 ; Lutherans, 65,931 ; Jews, 46,655; Jansenists, 5,007 ; Remonstrants, 4,970 ; other sects, 1,975. On Monday last, a human foot with a part of the leg attached, was found on the sea shore, behind the south pier, at this port. It was the right foot of an apparently male adult ; the leg was from below the knee, wanting the bone from the calf. The great toe was also wanting. It was in terred in the churchyard.—Sunderland Herald of Saturday. BRITISH MUSEUM.—We learn, from an abstract of the accounts presented to Parliament, that the receipts of the Museum from Christmas 1834 to 1835, were 19,603/. Bs., and the expenditure for the same period 19,079/. 4s. Of this latter sum upwards of 11,0001. consisted of salaries and wages. The result of the first day's polling in Merioneth shire was, for Mr. Richards, 477 ; for Sir W. Wynn, 139. Not more than 50 remained for the next day, so that the re turn of the former gentleman has no doubt taken place ere this. But the ground is broken, and to find, without any preparation for the struggle, so many as 141) Reformers regis tered in this quiet Tory county of Merioneth, is of itself a great victory. Next election will tell a different story. THE OCEAN.—" I think with you, that the most magnificent object under Heaven is the great deep; and cannot but feel an unpolite species of astonishment when I consider the multitudes that view it without emotion, and even without reflection. In all its various forms, it is an object of all others the most suited to affect us with lasting impressions of the awful Power that created and controls it. lam the less in clined to think this negligence excusable, because, at a time of life when I gave as little attention to religious subjects as almost any man, I yet remember that the waves would preach to me, and that in the midst of dissipation I had an ear to hear them. One of Shakspearc's characters says,—` lam never merry when I hear sweet music.' The same effect that har mony seems to have had upon him, I have experienced from the sight and sound of the ocean, which have often composed my thoughts into a melancholy not unpleasing, nor without its use. So much for Signor Nettuno."—Southey's Cowper. COMMISSION OF LUNACY.—A Commission of Lunacy was held on Monday at the Cadogan Hotel, Sloane street, to inquire into the state of mind of Benjamin Toussant, son of a respectable tradesman at the west-end of the town. Dr. Sutherland had the care of him from the sth of August, 1831. He considered him a sort of automaton. If left alone, he would remain standing, and if ordered to do anything he would do it. The Jury found Mr. Toussant had been in an unsound state of mind from the sth of August, 1831. THE MOORS.—Game arc abundant on the low grounds of Lord Panmure's extensive moors on the Grampians. On the lofty hills they are scarce, and the broods late. A few days since, a child was christened in the parish church of St. James, Poole, by the following names : " Senora Donna Maria da Gloria Johanna Charlotta Leopol dina Isadora du Cruz Francesca Xaviera du Paula Miehaela Gabriella Raffaela Louisa Gonzala.—Salisbury Herald of Sa turday. It is rather curious that, whilst in Spain the pro perty of the convents is sold to pay the national debt, in Ire land it is seized by Act of Parliament to swell the revenues of the Reformed Church.—Dublin Evening Post. LIVERPOOL DOCK BILL.—The defeat of the Tory job which it was the object of the promoters of this Bill to perpetuate, has carried dismay and confusion into the citadel of the Liverpool Corruptionists. Their organ, the Standard of that city, seeing that the game is up, and that the jobbers are frustrated in their nefarious scheme, no longer thinks it necessary to restrain his, apparently, editorial penchant, and accordingly fills a full column with loud philippics against those who have aided in the exposure and prevention of the Tory tricks and Dock designs. The Standard of Tuesday is not simply irate, but actually scolds and calls names—after the fashion, which we sometimes see, of a sturdy offender, upon whom the sentence of the law has no sooner been passed, than he emits a volley of abuse on the Judge, Jury, and all concerned in his condemnation. Some of the Honourable Members in the House of Com mons, who refused to sanction the Dock Estate job, are politely called scrubs—ignorant scrubs 1 ! Mr. Ewart's name is connected with " the tumblers of Clay ton-square," and a sort of menacing prediction that he will soon be sorry for the part he took, is levelled against that gen tleman—ivho is besides admonished that he and " his heart less faction" must be made to answer for this their wrong doing. Mr. Stanley is not suffered to escape—he is a sad fellow_if words could kill, he certainly would not now be alive to read the indignant commentary upon his misconduct. Under-Secretary E. J. Stanley (says our angry and mortified Contemporary) has rendered himself eminently conspicuous for the vile subserviency and party spirit he has shewn throughout. The clause which he introduced, contrary to the advice of the speaker, and which had for its apparent object the exception of certain ports in Cheshire from dock dues, was devised solely to render the Bill obnoxious, and afford a pretext for opposing it. Mr. E. J. Stanley may now, perhaps, be chuckling at the success of his manoeuvre ; but it is not creditable even in him, it was a paltry trick—a mere e ff or t o f l ow dipl o macy—of vul gar cunning and hypocrisy—persisted in without the slightest regard for decency or candour !1" " A paltry trick," " vul gar cunning," " hypocrisy." These are Conservative terms, applied personally to Mr. Stanley—this is the language of Tories—whether it be that of Gentlemen—of the Dock Estate Gentlemen, we do not know, but every person must at once admit that it cannot be " persisted in (with) the slightest re gard for decency and candour."

Some of the governors of the hospital having expressed a wish that the statement made at the inquest should be ex plained, I trust you will be kind enough to insert this.

The Thomas, Reid, bound to New York, has put back to Liverpool, leaky. PARISH OF KENSINGTON.—During Friday and Saturday, the extensive parish of Kensington was consider ably excited by the opponents of church rates objecting to the whole of the items in the accounts of the late church wardens, from the salaries of the organist and pew-openers down to the charges for the sacramental bread and wine, and demanding a poll on the question of their passing. At the close of the poll on Friday the numbers were—For the pass ing of the accounts, 101 ; against it, 35 ; and at the final close on Saturday afternoon the numbers were—For the mo tion 222 ; against it 82, being a majority of 140 in favour of the church party. HORSES.—About twenty hacknies, apparently the sweepings from Lord Chesterfield's stables, were sold yester day at Tattersall's. The prices which these cast-off nags of his Lordship fetched at the hammer, would seem surprisinglY high to those persons who are unacquainted with the relative value of roadsters. Several of them sold for 200 or 300 guineas each ; a very little mare, much used, and which had seen her best days, fetched we believed 280 ; and even her three ponies, of only about thirteen hands, were eagerly bought at prices which would treble the amount often paid by the retired merchant for a whole carriage equipage--harness , horses, vehicle, and all. There are hacknies which have been sold for thousands, but the sum which will command a good one—of course a better nag than common—may be stated at 500 guineas. It is said that Lord Chesterfield has in his possession no less than 400 horses eating corn, besides those which are turned out at grass. WANTON MISCHIEF.—Some unmusical wightt who had not the fear of Chipp's thumping before his eyes, wantonly out the heads of his valuable drums at the Opera house, on Saturday night. It is conjectured that it was per petrated by some fellow who had been tried at the drum-head for misconduct. A physician, in Prussia, lately prescribed a medi cine powder to the wife of a stock-broker, in the qu antity the doses of which it was necessary to be very precise, and, therefore, directed that they sh o uld b e equal to the weight of a ducat. The physici a n, on c a llin g on the following day, found his patient's malady i ncrease d to an alarming degree. Ho earnestly inquired whether the medicine had been admi nistered. The husband answered in the affirmative, and, as 011 proof, produced the empty box. " Good God !" exclaimed the physician, " How is this? The quantity I directed to be given was not more than a twelfth !" " Oh I" teplied the man of money, " not having a ducat in the house, I took three Prussian crowns, which are equal to a ducat, and even took care to add the ayio according to the last quotation at the ex change !" MORALITY OF THE TIMES.—In referring to a letter on the subject of the late trial, in which the writer states that " the unhappy plaintiff was goaded to persevere ul his unfortunate action by the artful instigation of the Tine' of the 14th of May," the Chronicle observes—" We certainly' can hardly be surprised that, though he (the plaintiff) re ceived no encouragement from his counsel, he should dread the perpetual obloquy with which he had been threatened If he stopped short. We do not helieve th a t in the whole his tory of the Press of this country there is another instance of a newspaper placing a man in the cruel position of being forced to do an act of injustice as the only means of escaping disho nour. The Press becomes a dreadful engin sc e of mischief when it prostitutes itself to such purposes. What is the crime of extorting money from a man by the threat of charg ing him with an unnameable offence, compared with this con duct of the Times? Weighed in the scale of equity, there is hardly a conceivable crime which is not venial when com pared with the acts of the Times. If the conscience of the writer of the articles in the Times, which were calculated t 0 destroy the happincto of a family, do not rack him in hi,s, last moments,' he must bo the most callous of hurt; an beings' AMERICAN SHIPS IN THE PACIFIC..— The American sloop _Honduras, Captain Scott, after cruising among the group of isl an d s aroun d A scens i on I s l a nd, went into Strong's Island, t o re p a i r an d p rov i s i on .

Th e d ec k swar med,leaving the with islander s —when it ,vas apprehended an attack had been made o n the boat's crew ashore, as the captain was heard calling to the mate to load the muskets. The'mate, hearing this, sprang on board from the natives, who had seized him, and with cut lass and musket succeeded in driving them overboard. He then slipped the chain-cable, and with the aid of the NI spread canvass and brought the vessel out of the harbour--- making the best of his way back to Ascension Island, whe re she arrived after 11 days, without foremast, and short of pl . !'" visions. Having shipped a native crew at Ascension, sh e sailed for Oahu, where she arrived in January. Small We e are entertained that Captain Scott and the crew escaped being murdered. The crew of the Thetis, Captain Rogers, ba" attempted to seize the vessel, two or three of the men having entered the cabin at midnight, and with axes ap proached the berths of Captain Rogers, and Hannington the mate, arid severed off both their heads. The trading-mast er of the schooner hearing the alarm, seized a cutlass, rat e r a an en deck, and encountering the chief of the revolte rs, contest of 10 or 15 minutes killed him, and brought the re mainder to subjection.
